From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx> Speculative processor accesses may reference any memory that has a valid page table entry. While a speculative access won't generate a machine check, it will log the error in a machine check bank. That could cause escalation of a subsequent error since the overflow bit will be then set in the machine check bank status register. Code has to be double-plus-tricky to avoid mentioning the 1:1 virtual address of the page we want to map out otherwise we may trigger the very problem we are trying to avoid. We use a non-canonical address that passes through the usual Linux table walking code to get to the same "pte". Thanks to Dave Hansen for reviewing several iterations of this.

Robert Elliott had raised questions on whether there needed to be a method to re-enable the 1:1 mapping if the poison was cleared. I replied that would be a good follow-on patch when we have a way to clear poison. Robert also asked whether this needs to integrate with the handling of poison in NVDIMMs, But discussions with Dan Williams ended up concluding that this code is executed much earlier (right as the fault is detected) than the NVDIMM code is prepared to take action. Dan thought this patch could move ahead. arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h | 4 ++++ arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c | 43 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/mm_inline.h | 6 ++++++ mm/memory-failure.c | 2 ++ 4 files changed, 55 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h index b4a0d43248cf..b50df06ad251 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/page_64.h @@ -51,6 +51,10 @@ static inline void clear_page(void *page) void copy_page(void *to, void *from); +#ifdef CONFIG_X86_MCE +#define arch_unmap_kpfn arch_unmap_kpfn +#endif + #endif /* !__ASSEMBLY__ */ #ifdef CONFIG_X86_VSYSCALL_EMULATION diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c index 6dde0497efc7..3b413065c613 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/mce.c @@ -51,6 +51,7 @@ #include <asm/mce.h> #include <asm/msr.h> #include <asm/reboot.h> +#include <asm/set_memory.h> #include "mce-internal.h" @@ -1051,6 +1052,48 @@ static int do_memory_failure(struct mce *m) return ret; } +#if defined(arch_unmap_kpfn) && defined(CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE) + +void arch_unmap_kpfn(unsigned long pfn) +{ + unsigned long decoy_addr; + + /* + * Unmap this page from the kernel 1:1 mappings to make sure + * we don't log more errors because of speculative access to + * the page. + * We would like to just call: + * set_memory_np((unsigned long)pfn_to_kaddr(pfn), 1); + * but doing that would radically increase the odds of a + * speculative access to the posion page because we'd have + * the virtual address of the kernel 1:1 mapping sitting + * around in registers. + * Instead we get tricky.
